The Box

So if you are planning on watching the movie the box, please don’t read any further, because I’m going to do 2 things Number 1. I’m going to spoil it for you, and number 2.  I’m going to save you time and money.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362478/

This is my take on the movie, and what I remember.

1.  The movie starts out with a family that is living a normal life 2 working parents. and trying to make it with their income.  They get woken up at 5:45 in the morning with a random box on their porch with a button to push.  5:00 in the afternoon some random stranger comes to visit and explains that the purpose of the box does 2 things if they push the button they get 1 million dollars, and someone in the world, someone they don’t know dies, simple as that.  If they don’t push the button no one dies, and they don’t get the money.  He gave them 24 hours to make the decision.  long story short they push the button, and get the money, and someone dies.  You would think thats the end of the movie, but it goes on. They start by telling the police, which in turn makes this random stranger come after them, and threaten them and come after them.  Turns out this stranger worked for the military, and died and came back to life and started “testing” people with the boxes.  They spend the whole movie trying to stop the stranger from coming after them, and at the end of the movie he is in their house and said your son is deaf and blind, and the only way to fix him is for the father to shoot and kill his wife (the mother) and so ends the show.

I hope this all made sense.

2. now that you know how the movie goes you don’t have to waste your time, and money to see it.  You will be much better off without it in your life.

Electrochronic

If you like rap, and if you like rock and or roll you will definately like Electrochronic.  They are emerging out of the woodworks of the utah music scene.  They are hitting the scene with a force of ten thousand bolts of lightning.  Once you listen to one song they hook you in, and you can’t stop listening.  You MUST check them out on their website at:  http://electrochronic.com  You will be shocked, and amazed!

Domain Names.

If you are interested in Domain names,  there is only one place that I can think of to go for a domain, and that is Buyatis.  You can go to http://buyatis.com and view a couple of really well state domain names.  If they don’t have something you are interested in you are more then welcome to contact them, and they will see if they can find it for you.  I give them 2 thumbs up.

The Samsung Solstice.

The Samsung Solstice is another touch screen.  The touch screen on the phone is not mult-touch, it is sometimes non-responsive, and the phone vibrates with every touch.

The apps, are very basic, and they have problems performing the tasks they were designed to do.  They aren’t fully functioning.  Trying to use Facebook with the Samsung social networking app combines facebook, myspace, and more you can log in, and view it, not really make any posts.

When comparing the phone with the apple Iphone it’s not worth the $300.00 they were asking for it.  If you would like the phone your best bet is to find somewhere that offers it for free.

Apple, and the Iphone.

Apple and the Iphone,  The Iphone is a wonderful tool to have. You can use it to check your email, check your stocks.  You can use it to keep track of your schedule, and to keep track of your contacts.  There are thousands of apps, and games that you can download from the app store.

The Iphone is exclusively through the AT&T network, which is the only place you can find it.  Unless you jail break the phone.  One downside to jail braking your Iphone is if you have any problems with the phone you will not get any support from apple.  However any support through apple after 30 days you will have to pay for the support.  If you have any problems You have to pay for the support, or you can take it to an apple store, and they provide support for the whole year of the warranty. 

Above all I enjoy the apple Iphone I haven’t had any major problems with it, except when plugging it into a Linux Operating System it looses the sound.  I would love to see a smart phone with a Linux Operating System, instead of mac, or windows.
